ISBN: 0791459136 ISBN-13: 9780791459133 Publisher: State University of New York Press OUR PRICE: $94.05 Product Type: Hardcover Published: January 2004 Annotation: Featuring discussions and dialogue by prominent scientists and philosophers, this book explores the rich interface of contemporary physics and Whitehead-inspired process thought. The contributors share the conviction that quantum physics not only corroborates many of Whitehead's philosophical theses, but is also illuminated by them. Thus, though differing in perspective or emphasis, the contributions by Geoffrey Chew, David Finkelstein, Henry Stapp and other scientists conceptually dovetail with those of Philip Clayton, Jorge Luis Nobo, Yutaka Tanaka and other process philosophers. |
